Street Map of London needed
editAll the maps currently shown are sketchy. It is very difficult to work out where those sketches fit onto the topography, e.g. streets and rivers. The initial location map as a small dot in the middle of Greater London is nigh on useless. It should at least be zoomable in and out. Cvhorie (talk) 08:33, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
Money Laundering
editThe City of London's role in illicit financial activity such as money laundering has earned the financial hub sobriquets like ‘The Laundromat’ and ‘Londongrad.’[1]
London’s role as the world’s dirty money clearing house is well-documented but efforts are being made to clean up through legislation, e.g. authorizing unexplained wealth orders. High-value properties are sought after by criminals and money launderers legitimising their gains by investing in the city’s prestigious real estate.[2][3][4]

Form of government
editHow can the form of government of the City of London be termed? --95.24.68.61 (talk) 19:27, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
Area of London 2.9 km2? wtf?
editWho is editing these articles? They need to be fired. I've consistently seen that area for many cities globally are being misreported in wiki.
